The following video is the first of a 3-part series on the massive financial fraud perpetrated by Bernie Madoff and his institutional “enablers” over the past 20+ years. Parts 2 and 3 will be sent out in the first week of February and March. The reputation and experience of hundreds, if not thousands of Madoff’s victims demonstrates (if any such demonstration were necessary) that even “sophisticated” investors can be defrauded.
